In attempt to get into the holiday spirit at work I have invited my co-workers to participate with me in a cookie exchange this year. The idea went over very well and everyone is excited to bake and show off…

For ten years I was the “baby” of the house. Christmas mornings are a pretty exciting time for a kid! I remember waking up long before the sun came out and waking up my parents and my older brother so…

22 minutes. A man from Denmark set the Guinness World Record by holding his breath for 22 minutes. That is about 20 minutes longer than the average person can hold their breath (under water). But it’s currently about 6 months…
